Fluttershy arrived at the Sugar Cube Corner in a hurry, distraught and in tears. Pinkie Pie was the closest of the Mane Six from Twilight’s house.

And when she saw Pegasus in that state, the earth pony lost her smile on the spot. "Fluttershy, what's wrong?"

"It's Pepper." She tried to catch her breath, unaccustomed to such a gallop. "She's back, she's at my place. Do you know where Twilight is? She's not at home."

Pinkie Pie's mane became totally smooth as the iris of her big azure eyes grew smaller than a grape. The last letter from Lazy Bones was running in her head, and she couldn't help but think that it was all going to end badly for Equestria. "Go and get the others, I have an idea. I don't know where Twilight is, but I know how to get her attention."

As Fluttershy went to Applejack, which was the one to live the furthest away of all mane six, Pinkie went down to the cellar. What her friends didn't know, despite the fact that they'd all visited the room, was the presence of a single-piece folder hidden in a recess in the wall by another single-piece folder.

In each of the drawers were recipes that Pinkie might have borrowed from those who, just like her, had the ability to break through the fourth wall.

There she was, trembling with fear, standing with her head between the front legs that pressed against the one piece file. She glanced at the door, still no sign of life from Lazy, it had been two weeks now. Slowly, the right hoof grabbed the handle to open the locker, she took out a black sports bag so big that it could hold an adult pony. "You said it was too dangerous, that means you used it yourself. To protect your loved ones. You can't ask me not to do the same Lazy, I have to protect their smiles. Even if it costs me an eye." She took out a big soda can with a simple word on it.
